Yeah, I started it a few days ago, and I have about 5 pages done (single spaced, so you know it's good). The only problem is, I just found out it's kind of like Bridge to Terabithia. If you haven't read that book, you fail.
However, the kids in mine are 4 years older, it spans over like 3 years, there's no imaginary worlds, they like each other, it centralizes around a tree, and it takes place in the near future, like 2020 or so, whereas Terabithia was about 10 year olds with no relationship (the movie lied), they imagine stuff, [spoiler]the girl dies,[/spoiler] and takes place in the 70's.
Is this different enough to constitute an original idea? I didn't realize the similarities until after I began.

Its like the difference between Harry Potter and other magical children's book rip-offs...
the difference between Pokemon and Digimon...
If those guys got away with it, its fine for you to do so.

Just keep writing it. Let's see how it turns out. And yeah, the Bridge to Terabithia movie was depressing. They may as well shout: "YOUR LIFE SUCKS!" and then roll the credits.

That was only really sad because Jess actually loved the girl... Um... I forgot her name. In the book they were just friends so I didn't really care. |

Oh yeah, I remember we where talking about this.
Glad you kept writing instead of giving up, even though yours sounds like BtT.
Also, I stopped writing the book that I told you I was working on, because I found one that I had started writing a long time back and continued work on it.
I have like 2.5- 3 pages. Also single spaced.

I might scrap the one I'm on now, cuz I had a much better idea the whole time which I've never heard of before, so I hope it's totally original.

I decided today to start rewriting Inferno Hacker. I'm switching names and stuff, and replacing Blaze with BlazingWyvern (although his nickname is still Blaze =P ). I guess I'm way better at writing than two years ago lol
Looking back, my grammar was horrible >_<
Hopefully your new idea works.

Yeah, I can imagine all the run-ons you must have. Besides that, most of the pages must've been filled with exclamation marks. Good job! |
